One of the few things my 4 year degree has instilled in me is a deep and profound hatred of philosophy.

I've heard the pre-Socratic ones are good though.

inverse effect on me, I really got into Camus and Jung (My teacher would bring up Jung a lot i know he isn't PHIL MASTER)

Camus is the bae. He is the one exception.

Idk about Jung. If he's anything like Freud then no.

I was under the impression that no one took Freud seriously these days.

One of the few things my 4 year degree has instilled in me is a deep and profound hatred of philosophy.

I've heard the pre-Platonic ones are good though.

I've only taken political philosophy and I thought it was alright. never even took intro to philosophy but I did want to though

I don't hate philosophy but I also only minored in it.

I still only hate math.

Loved math, didn't get to have the fun of taking any normal math in college though tested out. Stats and physics don't count as math, right?

Stats counts as math to me. Stats is what makes me hate math.

I really really hated stats. I can't stress it enough. But it was a prereq for a research class (that I ended up loving) so it was unavoidable

I LOVED stats I also love calculus. Physics, not so much. But I think my professors are more to blame for that

But how can I possibly live my life when I don't have a profound knowledge of aesthetics or stoicism or anything like that?

Just make up some shit and call it Oopsuism. Problem solved.

Who do you think I am, a cult leader?

Hey guys! I was looking through some older threads and people mention the some Cambridge bundles (like the LR hard question bundle, logic games by type, etc.) and all I can find on their website are some solutions/explanations manuals. Did they stop selling these bundles? It seemed like they were super helpful to people.

yeah they stopped selling them. you can probably find a copy on amazon or eBay but it may be overpriced. power score has books similar to it though, I believe

Awesome thanks! That really sucks that they stopped selling them though!

If women and non-Europeans are people according to Oopsuist theory you'll have beat out the majority of western philosophy.

It's pretty sad when you think about it, eh?

Just did a few RC drills with pencil (I usually use pen) and I can't believe I'm switching this late in the game. Huge difference

Just recorded my first -0 full RC section

Now I need to replicate that success on some LR sections

Do you think that most 173+ scorers go -0/1 on LG and do the worst on RC? Or is it totally variable?

How? What are your tips? Especially for us mere -4 mortals.

[oopsu812]

Yes, I imagine it'd be rarer to get 173+ without killing LG, judging by the June thread. You'd have to get lucky on LR and RC. Some high scorers almost look at LG as a rest, lol.

Well I'm not one of the more experienced users in this thread, but my most general advice is to really adopt the perspective of the author. I barely diagram passages. Rather, I underline what I think is the thesis/MP of the first paragraph, underline shifts in viewpoint, and bracket the key points of a given paragraph. Sometimes I also denote wonky portions of the science passages that seem marginally important but will require review if they are mentioned in questions.

I also am a pretty (although not abnormally) fast reader, so I try to finish the passage in 2 minutes (the science ones usually take 15-30 seconds longer) because it is easier to read the passage quickly and thoroughly and later review a portion in relation to a question, than to read the passage extremely diligently and try to answer almost every question from memory. I have finished almost every RC section with at least 2-3 minutes to spare with this method, and it allows me time to revisit the questions that were most difficult.

ETA: I have gotten 2-4 wrong on most of my RC sections, so I am by no means an authority, and my personal strategies (limited diagramming, question-oriented approach) may not be the best strategy for others (or even myself )

I've finally gotten to the point where I virtually never (with v rare exceptions) just get a question wrong. My only issue is speed, and occasionally missing a question because I am rushing to finish in time.

Cooley @ sticker will be ur only option with -1on 5 games.

Games must be -0 otherwise S immediately trashes an app.

Also how tf did that 3.57/167 pull Y? Christs sake does this mean that there is a glimmer of hope

Do you have the link to their profile handy? that makes this process hopeful and this cycle seems like a total toss up for most people in a good way
